CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Death of a Venerable Citizen.—
The death of Rev. James Rees occurred at
the home cf his son, Judge T. C. Rees,
nine miles from Columbus, in Muscogee
county, at 5 o’clock Friday afternoon.
Rev. Mr. Rees was a Baptist minister, and
was licensed to preach the Gospel in 1825.
He was ninety years of age at the time of
his death.
Rev. Mr. Rees was, perhaps, the oldest
Mason in Georgia, having become a mem
ber of Flint Hill Lodge in 1838.
He was a good man, and all who knew
him loved and admired him.
The funeral took place with Masonic
honors at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon,
and the remains were interred at Pierce
Chapel cemetery.
Ladies on the Committee.—The vice-
presidents of the Marion county exhibit to
the Chattahoochee Valley Exposition held
an enthusiastic meeting at Buena Vista a
few days ago and appointed the following
executive committee: J. F. Rushin, J. R.
Short, S. C. Jenkins, Mrs. C. H. McCall,
Mrs. B. T. Peacock, Mrs. J. F. Rushin,
Mrs. TV. Z. Burt, Mrs. Martha Munroe,
Miss Mary Stewart and Mrs. D. B. Wells.
This committee will meet President Knowl-
ton at the court house in Buena Vista next
Saturday to consider matters of import
ance connected with the exhibit. The
Patriot says: Mr. Charles Knowlton,
president of the Marion county
exhibit, was in Columbus last week and
selected the space for the exhibit, which is
in the north end of agricultural hall, and
will be remembered as the space occupied
by Hancock county at the last Exposition.
This is the most desirable location in the
building, and Marion county is grateful to
the management of their interest in the
matter. Mr. Knowlton is bending every
energy to make the exhibit a success, and
he desires the co-operation of every citizen
of the county.
Fight With a Mad Dog.—The many
friends of Judge W. B. Butt in this city
will read with interest the following item
taken from the last issue of the Marion
County Patriot:
Judge Butt had a little experience with
a mad dog Tuesday morning, and he came
out of the fracas second best.
The dog was out in the yard after the
chickens, and Judge Butt told the little
servant girl to go out and run it away, but
the girl came back and stated that the dog
attempted to bite her. The Judge went
out with broom in hand to frighten the
dog away, and just as he was turning the
chimney comer the mad canine sprang at
his throat, but the Judge knocked him off
with his fist. The dog came at him again
and caught him by the sleeve at the wrist,
making a slight abrasion of the skin with
his teeth. The dog then left him and es
caped. During the tussle the Judge threw
his head back suddenly and struck it
against the corner of the chimney, leaving
an ugly and painful bruise.
POLITICAL LORE.
THE AMUSEMENT SEASON.
THE SENATORIAL QUESTION THE ALL-AB
SORBING TOPIC OF CONVERSATION.
The Senatorial question is now the all-
absorbing topic of conversation among
those who take an active interest in State
politics.
Gordon and anti-Gordon. That is the
way it is put now.
The friends of Gen. Gordon claim that
Columbus and Muscogee county are practi
cally solid for him.
The more conservative anti-Gordon men
are willing to admit that the county is
overwhelmingly for Gordon.
It has been stated pretty freely on the
streets that the two representatives from
Muscogee were the only Gordon members
in the Fourth Congressional district, and,
on Friday night, the statement was made
by an anti-Gordon man that neither of the
representatives from Muscogee would vote
for the general. The Gordon men place
little faith in these statements.
It is announced on the authority of ex-
Senator Ben Williams, of Harris county,
that the two representatives from that
district are Gordon men. Mr. Williams
himself is a prominent Allianceman, but
this does not prevent him from being one
of the most enthusiastic supporters of
General Gordon.
Col. J. M. Mobley came down frm Ham
ilton yesterday and says his people are
solid for Gordon. “Judge Wisdom said to
me he was for Gordon,” said Col. Mobley,
“and my son, Rube, has always been for
him.” Judge Wisdom and Hon. Rube
Mobley are the nominees for the Legisla
ture from Harris.
It is not known how the candidate for
the Senate from the Twenty-fourth district
stands on this question, but it now appears
that he will be urged to declare himself
before he is nominated by the convention,
which meets in Columbus next Thursday.
A delegate to the convention from Mus
cogee is authority for the statement that
this matter will be sprung in the conven
tion.
Hon. Joe Terrell, candidate for the Sen
ate from Meriwether, Hon. Warner Hill
and Hon. R. D. Render, candidates for
Representatives from Meriwether, are
openly and avowedly Gordon men. Brother
Revill is trying to punch candidate Snel-
son off the fence, an l offers a year’s sub
scription to the V indicator to the man
who discovers whether Snelson is for or
against Gordon.
And now comes the statement from the
Putnam correspondent of the Americus re
corder: Mr. Wells, Democratic nominee
for the Legislature of Marion county was
the Alliance candidate, and was pledged
to no man for the United States Senate,
but it is reported be will support Gordon.
Let this be as it may. Marion county has
as safe a Representative as any county in
the State, and her citizens know it. One
of the truest and most prominent Alliance
men in the county said to us a few days
ago: “Bony Wells is competent to select
the best man offered for the Senate, and I
for one propose to offer no instruction.”
It is believed this is the sentiment of a ma
jority of the Alliance and that they will be
satisfyed with what Mr. Wells does.
There is a deal of talk about a mass
meeting of the Democrats of Muscogee
county to express to the candidates for the
Legislature and Senate the will of the peo
ple on the Senatorial question. A good
many people are in favor of holding the
meeting at once. Others say that it is best
to wait until some one declares himself a
candidate against General Gordon. In
this event, it is certain that a meeting will
be held.
And it will be piping hot, too.
V
East Alabama feels about as much inter
est in this Senatorial race as does Georgia.
The lines are sharply drawn over there—
Gordon and anti-Gordon.

THE NEED OF A NEW DEPOT AT
WAVERLY.
Waverly, Ala;, September 18.—[Spe
cial.]—The citizens of Waverly are much
pleased with instructions of Superintend
ent D. D. Curran to clean away the debris
and rubbish on the right of way of the
railroad track around the depot. This is a
move in the right direction, and we hope
will continue until the old shanty which
now serves as a depot will be moved and
another erected in its stead that will give
us those accommodations our patron
age so justly deserves. We don’t
know when we were ever more
forcibly struck'with the necessity of better
accommodations than a few days ago,
when there were passengers, both white
and colored, waiting for the trains while
a steady rain was falling. The ladies had to
actually seek refuge in the freight room,
which was filled to its utmost capacity
with freight; yet it was this or take the
weather. The dimensions of our waiting
room are only 8x20 feet, and this place is
used for a waiting room, a ticket office, a
baggage room, a telegraph office, and an
express office. Yet it is scarcely large
enough for either. How, Mr. Edi
tor, can you or even the railroad
authorities blame us for pressing our
claim for better accommodations? Most
surely not. We only ask what we think is
due us. When the present depot was
built it no doubt furnished ample accom
modations ; but since then our town has
increased in population, in business, and
in general growth, both to our interest
and to the interest of the railroad, which
we think but justifies better accommoda
tions. Will we be neglected longer, or will
the railroad authorities consider our
claims?

Plienix City is manifestly a rising town,
noted for her industry and thrift. The
spirit of enterprise in every department of
her work is gradually becoming moie and
still more intensified. The proper train
ing of her vastly increasing numbers is
the leading thought in all her
councils. The school building, which will
soon be completed, reflects much credit
upon the town. An attractive building
with corresponding furniture, and addi
tional pleasant surroundings, have much
to do with the education of the young,
both in cultivating the imagination, and
in securing punctuality. Onward !
The Only Blood Purifier and King
of Family’ Medicines.—M. T. Lynn, of
Phenix City, Ala.,.says: “I had suffered
severely for months with aggravated dys
pepsia, so that I had but little appetite.
Could not enjoy or digest what little food
I ate. Life had become a burden to me.
I had almost given up hope of ever becom
ing a well man I had tried various reme
dies, but they did me no good. I seemed
to get worse all the time, until I was ad
vised by Col. M. T. Lynn to try Good Red
Liquor. After the first dose I began to
improve, and ceased at once to spit up my
food. I have taken one barrel and am now
on my second, and I feel like a new man.
Am getting str6nger and healthier every
day. Can eat anything I want. I have a
splendid appetite, and I believe I have
been completely cured of dyspepsia by one
barrel of Good Red Liquor. [ can truth
fully say that I believe Good Red Liquor
to be the best medicine in the worid for
dyspepsia and indigestion. Many people
in Phenix City know how I have suffered
with this terrible disease, and I most earn
estly recommend those who suffer from
dyspepsia and indigestion to take Good
Red Liquor. It will cure you, make you
eat heartily and sleep well.
For sale by Col. M. T. Lynn.
N. B.—It causes no rows nor fusses.
Williams & Co. have the nicest and
most novel assortment of dress goods to be
found anywhere. Phenix City has never
been favored with a first class stock of
these goods before.

daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Cobb.
Mr. Wilmot is an enterprising railroad
man.
WILL REMAIN GIRARD.
Judge Tucker says: “There has been
much said about what Girard will do. He
says the name of Girard will not be
changed to West Columbus, New York,
Boston, Baltimore, Washington, London
nor Paris, but thinks she will still retain
her old mother name, Girard, but the Leg
islature will be asked to incorporate her
under the name of the city of Girard.
Property in our city seems to be steadily
advancing in value, and when the town is
incorporated under a well regulated munic
ipal government, you will see something
like a boom in Girard, is my judgment.”
GRIFFIN - NOTES.
A LOCAL SENSATION — INTERESTING
GOSSIP OF A GROWING TOWN.
Griffin, Ga., September 20.—[Special.]
The latest sensation here is the abrupt de
parture of the landlord of the Curtis
House, Maj. W. D. Willis, who left here
on one train yesterday while his family
took another train to their old home in
Milner. Mr. Willis was a partner in the
late busted fiim of S. M. Perdue, but con
tinued to run the hotel, and had consider
able patronage as well as public sympathy
in his misfortunes, losing two children
shortly after the failure of the grocery.
The passengers from several trains each
day took meals at his house, as well as
many of the railroad hands who stop here,
and it was thought that he was doing
fairly well. But his drinking habits pre
vented his attention to business, and yes
terday he skipped out, owing nearly every
body in town, including the party from
whom he bought the coffins for his chil
dren. The grocery houses are the principal
sufferers, and his total indebtedness is be
tween 8500 and $1,003. For a day before
leaving he lay concealed in a brush heap
in an outbuilding to avoid his creditors.
J. R. Ellis lost a bale of cotton yester
day by having the warehouse receipt stolen
from one of his negro hands, the negro
thief receiving the check cashing it and
leaving for parts unknown.
The Y. M. C. A. is fully organized and
promises to be a grand success. Geo. R.
Niles, an uncle of the Rev. Chick Niles,
of Columbus, is president, Dr. T. J. Collier
is vice-president, R. H. Duke is treasurer,
and R. J. Dean secretary. A building will
be secured as soon as possible.
The Democratic executive committee of
Spalding county met today, but owing to a
small attendance adjourned until the 29th
inst., when the result of Tuesday’s pri
mary will be reviewed. Clark Brooks, who
was beaten two votes by his o^Joneut for
County Treasurer, will ask a recount.
Cotton is coming iu faster than ever be
fore known in the history of the county,
and trade is booming accordingly.
